I’ve just installed WPTouch which is a plugin/theme for Wordpress blogs that serves up a mobile version for the user. The plugin reads the visitors user-agent and with that generates a custom mobile version of the blog for that visitor. I had been using Wordpress Mobile Pack for a while but there was just some things about it that I didn’t like and that’s why I changed to WPTouch. This new plugin includes a lot of new features that Wordpress Mobile Pack didn’t, features like Prowl push support so visitors can send me messages directly to my iPhone and I can respond to them.
Here is a couple of screenshots from my iPhone showing how it looks:
This is how the frontpage with the posts is looking on a iPhone. Notice the little “Mobile Theme” switch.
Some pictures of how the basic functions and categories look on the iPhone, I really like the way they are displayed.
Here is the features I was telling you about in the beginning of the post where the visitor can “Message” me and then I’ll receive a push notification on my iPhone through Prowl. It’s a really cool feature and something I had been looking at before. I was looking at implementing pushme.to but this just seems way easier because I was already using Prowl.
